So, the Pentagon "found" $8 Billion to pay the Military. There must be a lot of couches and a lot of loose change down in the cushions.
Or realistically, maybe the Pentagon's budget needs to be reexamined.

You're right. For too long we have depended on the actions of previous generations to maintain Democracy. We got lazy. Unfortunately, those who don't want a democratic America have been working to pervert Democracy into Fascism. It's time to take to the streets and protest to protect Democracy.

Democracy isn't a spectator sport. We all need to participate to keep it going.

Notice how they all run to the same excuse. "I'm not racist, I'm a Christian".
The Confederacy also claimed to be Christian. They even quoted the Bible to defend slavery.
The Nazis also used Christianity to defend what they did.

In which costume is George Soros? MAGA says that he's everywhere.

Trump is going to have a hard time trying to push Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson around. The State and Chicago have dealt with REAL Mob Bosses for decades. They have nothing to fear from a WANNABE Mob Boss.

All-You-Can-Eat buffets are going to go bankrupt with these fine examples of the Texas National Guard in town.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

(…because he literally incited an insurrection)

Don't forget their claim that the "illegals" were eating the cats and dogs.

Didn't she make the coffee after the other coffee guy got indicted?

Today's GOP is the bastard child of the Confederacy and the Nazis. Good luck trying to get them to follow any law.

Wow, Russia really needs to do something about window safety. Maybe some PSAs.

Stephen Miller is not Senate-confirmed. Within the constitutional hierarchy, he is nothing. Of course, he is the de-facto leader through his manipulation of the dementia-addled president. Miller could have walked softly & carried that big stick, but he opted to dress down Senate-confirmed judges. 🍿

Trump has difficulty reading so he depends on people to tell him what is happening.
Also, he has dementia.

Trump and the GOP are doing everything that they can think of to prevent the 2026 midterm elections.
Why?
1) Epstein files release.
2) Democrats win the House.
3) Trump impeachment.
4) Other.

With all due respect, are they Santa's Elves?

So the President of the United States told the military Generals and Admirals to use the inner cities for training.
If they have run out of money to buy paper targets, I'll kick in some extra money to buy some at Walmart.

USA, USA, USA!
The GOP and MAGA are anarchists. They want the right to do whatever they want. They are the "sovereign citizens" of America who believe that they are not required to follow the laws of America.
